CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



The List of Chrysanthemums we are offering for the season of 1919 

 shows many changes from last season and these are, we believe, a great 

 benefit to us and no injury to our trade. We have discarded many varie- 

 ties and have kept only such as have shown themselves really needed to 

 maintain a balance of color and season. This selection has eliminated 

 many for which we may have calls during the planting season, but in the 



HHIiEN 1.EE. In color a delicate shade of pink. The form of 

 the flower is excellent; incurved type. Strongr, sturdy grower, with 

 stem ample to carry the flower. Midseason variety. 



MISS £LIZABKTH SMITH. An Incurved flower, orange-bronze 

 in color. Good stem and foliage. One of the best of the new varie- 

 ties. 



RICHMOND. The phrase, "An early BonnafTon," describes thla 

 variety. A bright golden yellow that has every promise of making 

 a name for itself. Perfect in form and perfect in color. 



WHITTIEB. Bright, golden yellow in color, coming into bloom 

 Just after Richmond and Just before BonnafCon. It is an incurved 

 flower of the Bonnafton type. It is a promising variety and worthy 

 of cultivation by those who seek to grow better Chrysantheniums. 



YELLOW CHARLES RAOER. A sport which originated with us. 

 Light yellow, but a strong, healthy grower. The flowers are well- 

 formed and, like Its parent. It is an easy variety to grow.

BARBARA DAVIS. In color, a rich shade of reddish bronze and 

 entirely distinct from any other variety. It was disseminated by 

 us in 1917 and has proved a decided acquisition either as a cut 

 flower or as a pot plant. In habit of growth it is short-Jointed and 

 inclined to be dwarf, but makes good stems from early propagation. 

 The flower is reflexed when fully open and Is at its best Just before 

 maturing.

 bronze-yellow. Flowers very large and full, appearing the latter 

 part of November or early in December.
